[ carolina shifts her weight, turns enough that drake can see the flicker of her appreciative little smile before she starts talking. ]
It was just a few of the soldiers who'd gotten particularly attached to my friends, our first visit to Chorus. I... didn't really bond to any of them, like the guys did. [ surprising no one, probably. bonding is hard. ] These two that really looked up to Tucker and Simmons eventually figured out that I'd tell stories about them if they actually got me to something social, so they'd invite me out. And then so would a few soldiers who lived in the apartment block next door, and a medic, on the next block.
[ she pauses, shaking her head, but it's more of an amused gesture than strictly negative. ]
They mostly made for incredibly annoying friends, but when Wash didn't need me, it was an excuse not to be alone. And I did genuinely like Jensen, she's clever, a sweet kid. Simmons having faith in her did a lot to help her grow into the person she is and I hope he's proud of that.
